Breaking Down the Senses and Sense Perseption part2

A. After watching and discussing these videos in class, CHOOSE to either write a paragraph or produce a vlog journal (video) describing your personal thoughts on what you have learned from them, and questions you may have. ***You may wish to divide your responses by "sense category" into 5 sections. Responses should be thorough and thoughtful. 

B. Create at least 1 question per sense to be used in our Socratic Seminar. All questions should be open-ended and open to various perspectives.

I really liked watching the videos about light, color and the senses, but I think it's too much thinking. I have this way of thinking about colors and light, that is disterbed by overthinking it. When I think of things like color, I have a genersly good/positive feeling, but when we go really in-depth into it, I kind of loose the good positive feeling..... i dont really know, it's weird. 

I liked hearing the one guy talk about  how humans almost soley rely on their eyes, even though it's not really your eyes that see, it's your brain. Your eyes pick up light and your brain morfs it into colors/pictures. This is why that tribe in Africa, saw colors differantly than westerners even if it was the same colors they were looking at. This is really cool. This supports the videa of the brain being the one who actually sees, because it is being influenced by their language , which language would have no efect if you were truly seeing only with your eyes. All this information about our sencses has me thinking about the movie limitless, like how we only use a small part of our brain. Maybe if we learned or traned ourselves to use our other sences more, we would be able to acces more of our brain power.

Smell: Why is smell the first sense we comprehened?

Hearing: How effective is hearing on our memory?

Tast: Why do most people like tast over their other sences?

Touch: Like the guy said in the video, Is there a way to be able to ignore or render extreme pain painless?

Seeing: How much of our world or the information we gather from our surroundings rely on seeing or evein just seeing color?
